New to deadline

Deadline
1

I just installed deadline on 5 render nodes. I am using windows 7 ultimate. The repository is on a datacenter computer. Each slaves sees the repository. On each slaves, I mapped the project’s network drive in “my computer” with the same letter. I need to export some PSD image sequence with after effects CS5. I’ve setup my AE projet to use comps frames. When I submit a AE job to deadline, and select all my 5 slaves, only 1 slave picks the job and it is a random one. I can get more than 1 to render. Also, on the slave rendering, I see the “STDOUT PROGRESS”, but I see nothing in the deadline monitor from which I started the job. I see no “progress” or “frames” going up in neither monitor/slave.

can someone help me setup this ?
thanks

Can you send us a screen shot of the submission dialog prior to submitting the job? I just want to check to see if any of your submission options would cause the job to only be rendered on one machine. Also, when the job does get submitted, does it contain more than one task? The task count is shown in the job list in the monitor.

Thanks!
